Habemus Papam!

With great joy, we welcome Pope Leo XIV as the new Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church. The Knights of Columbus unite in prayer for our Holy Father, asking the Lord to strengthen him as he shepherds the people of God with wisdom, compassion, and courage. May Mary, Mother of the Church, intercede for Pope Leo XIV always. Vivat Jesus!
